Summary

Located in Bensenville in Chicago’s western suburbs, Fenton High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 1,396 students. Attendance is the clearest concern: in 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 51%, the highest among the six nearby high schools, compared with 24% statewide and a 26% average at the five nearby schools.

Fenton’s strongest nearby-school results were in ninth-grade math and science, where it ranked second of six, at 40% and 45%. Ninth-grade English language arts was a pronounced weakness: 50%, lowest among the six and below their 62% average. On the grade 11 ACT, Fenton was below the state in all three subjects; science was its weakest relative result, at 37% compared with 48% statewide and 51% across nearby schools. The test-score figures for Fenton CHSD 100 match the school’s, so they do not provide a separate district benchmark.

Recent test trends are mixed: ninth-grade PreACT ELA fell 7 percentage points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while tenth-grade PreACT math rose 8 points. Fenton’s SchoolDigger standing was 367th of 620 schools, at the 41st percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26—12 percentile points below the previous year. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 15.1, close to the nearby-school average. Its free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 43% in 2024–25.
